MAIN RECOMMENDATION 1 ESGE suggests using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) as the first-line imaging modality on admission when indicated and up to 4th week from onset in absence of contraindications. Magnetic resonance (MRI) may be used instead CT patients with contraindications CT, after invasive intervention is considered because contents (liquid vs. solid) pancreatic collections are better characterized by MRI evaluation duct integrity possible. Weak recommendation, low quality...
1: ESGE recommends the use of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) over percutaneous transhepatic (PTBD) after failed retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in malignant distal obstruction when local expertise is available.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. 2: suggests EUS-BD with hepaticogastrostomy only for inoperable hilar a dilated left hepatic duct inadequately drained by ERCP and/or PTBD high volume expert centers.Weak 3: that EUS-guided pancreatic...
1: ESGE recommends a prolonged course of prophylactic broad-spectrum antibiotic in patients with ascites who are undergoing therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence. 2: placement partially or fully covered self-expandable metal stents during EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy for biliary drainage malignant disease.Strong moderate 3: pancreatic duct (PD) should only be performed high volume expert centers, owing to the complexity this...
Colonoscopy is currently widely accepted as the gold standard for detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) providing up to 95% pre-cancerous lesions during procedure. However, certain limitations exist in most countries including cost and access Moreover, colonoscopy an invasive technique with risk inherent endoscopic For this reason, alternative screening tests, particular, fecal occult blood-based have been adopted frontline screening. Limited compliance approaches has prompted research on...
Conflicting data concerning the involvement of ghrelin in pathophysiology alcohol dependence have been reported. The aim this study is to investigate how chronic ingestion influences plasma levels and whether potential changes observed relate modifications production stomach where peptide primarily synthesized.Fifty-one consecutive alcoholics admitted for withdrawal were prospectively enrolled compared a control group 32 healthy volunteers matched age, sex, height weight. All subjects...
Background Most physiological studies interested in alcohol-dependence examined ethanol as a pharmacological agent rather than nutrient. We conducted two studies, which assessed the metabolic and endocrine factors involved regulation of alcohol nutrient intake alcohol-dependent (AD) subjects. also potential role disruption energy balance alcohol-dependence. Methods Results In Study-1, quantitative dietetic interviews eating drinking habits were with 97 AD The population was split around...
<b>Background:</b> Performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in bariatric patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is challenging due to the long anatomical route required reach biliopancreatic limb. <b>Aim:</b> Assessment of feasibility and performance laparoscopy-assisted transgastric cholangiopancreatography. <b>Methods:</b> A retrospective multicenter observational consecutive-patient cohort study all period May 2008 September 2014 with a history presented...
Abstract Background Autoimmune pancreatitis [AIP] is rarely associated with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. The long-term outcomes of AIP and IBD in patients coexisting AIP–IBD predictors complicated course have been reported. Methods An ECCO COllaborative Network For Exceptionally Rare case reports project [ECCO-CONFER] collected cases diagnosed IBD. Complicated was defined as a composite endocrine and/or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, cancer. We explored factors Results included 96...
Background: Combined endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and endoscopic tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) are accurate procedures for the diagnosis staging of mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs) in lung cancer. However, respective contribution separate combined has not been fully studied. The aim this study was to assess their performances. Methods: Patients with suspected malignant MLNs cancer or recurrence identified by PET-CT who underwent EBUS-TBNA EUS-TA...
The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has recognized the need to formalize and enhance training in diagnostic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This manuscript represents outcome a formal Delphi process resulting an official Position Statement ESGE provides framework develop maintain skills EUS. curriculum is set out terms prerequisites prior training; recommended steps defined syllabus; quality how competence should be evidenced before independent practice. 1: Trainees have...
BackgroundPancreatic duct disruption or disconnection is a potentially severe complication of necrotizing pancreatitis. With no existing treatment guidelines, it unclear whether there any consensus among experts in clinical practice. We evaluated current expert opinion regarding the diagnosis and pancreatic an international case vignette study.MethodsAn online survey was sent to 110 pancreatologists. Expert selection based on publications last 5 years and/or participation development IAP/APA...
Breast cancer (BC) is a major health issue threatening women's life. No reliable epidemiological data on BC diagnosed by oncologists/senologists are available in Algeria. The BreCaReAl study, non-interventional prospective cohort included adult women with confirmed Disease incidence, patients and disease characteristics, treatment patterns, mortality rate were recorded up to 12 months of follow-up. Overall, 1,437 analysed: median age was 48 [41;57] years 337 (23.5%) had family history BC....
Rapid weight loss following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) for the treatment of obesity can increase incidence cholelithiasis formation. Nevertheless, routine simultaneous cholecystectomy at time bariatric surgery remains controversial. However, in case delayed occurrence common bile duct (CBD) stones, difficulty to reach endoscopically biliary tract after RYGBP should be kept mind.We here report a patient who presented with CBD stones seven years banding followed five later by without...

Curative management of esophageal adenocarcinoma is based on esophagectomy. One the main complications anastomotic fistula (30%) [1], which responsible for significant postoperative morbidity and mortality, as well reduced survival [2]. In recent years, endoscopic treatment fistulas has become a valuable option, enabling closure reduction in mortality rate [3] [4].
Although widely practiced, cholecystectomy can expose patients to serious biliary injuries, including leakage, stenosis, and more rarely section of the common bile duct (CBD) [1] [2].
During upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at another institution, access to the second part of duodenum had not been possible for reasons that were unclear. At our hospital, a barium follow through revealed sac-like contrast-containing structure within duodenal lumen, suggestive an intraluminal diverticulum (IDD) (Figure [1] and [2]). Repeat confirmed portion could only be reached tiny passage level genu superius, laterally diverticular orifice.
